Literally. We were upstairs watching "After The Thin Man" on TCM, when we heard a terrific crash outside. Moments later we heard the loud growl of the fire trucks, accompanied by a couple of police cruisers and the EMTs.
A car had crashed into our next door neighbor's yard. The cops and firefighters were around for over an hour.
This morning we saw the damage. A drunk driver had veered off the road, lurched to the right, mowed down our neighbors' tree and crashed into and through the front of the house. The lower level was a terrific mess. Their couch was pushed six feet into the room.I could see from the tracks in the snow that if the drunk had made his lurch a couple of seconds larer, he would have plowed into our house.
As I write there are a couple of carpenters putting a quick bandaid on the house.
What a way to end a nasty decade!
